Hi all,

New to this forum and to astronomy in general. I've always had an interest in the stars, but never used anything more than a pair of binoculars.

I just got myself an 8" Skywatcher Dobsonian, with 25mm and 10mm eye pieces. I have spent a few evenings observing planets such as Saturn and Jupiter, but have yet to see anything else as spectacular as those 2 planets.

I live in Dalby, Queensland, so its a pretty good place for low light pollution, plenty of flat land for uninterrupted views.

What should I be aiming to look at in regards to Nebula and Galaxies?
